I decided to make a running dairy of my drive from Dallas, TX to Pensacola, FL. I am on my trip back to Florida from California. Anyways, I sent this to James, Krutch, Jesse, and buddy Steve from home. Here it is, with replies and all...

10:07am - first entry on my drive from Dallas to Pensacola. Let me tell you one thing, texting whilst driving is dangerous, do not attempt unless you are a trained professional. Two accidents averted while typing that sentence. This drive sucks, luckily I have colin cowherd with me but its fading...on no, 16 Christian gospel stations! Not good, be back in a little...

10:21am - Passing by a place called Lale Palestine, TX. My question is what are the odds that there are more than one Jew there

Jesse - Highly entertaining though, look forward to more…

James - Excellent idea. lol. you should include a description of Natchitoches, Louisiana. Scariest place Ive ever seen at night, especially bc when I drove through it the first time was the first ever time the gas light came on in my car (i had bought it less than a week before) and i had no idea how long it would last, I must have gone 75 miles without seeing anything at all, and went to some crazy truck stop where Im pretty sure everyone was carrying an axe under their flannel shirt. Then Natitoches became famous in the 2006 NCAA tournament when Northwestern State (located there) upset Iowa. a 14 seed over a 3.

Steve - Just curious….James, did you have to include the “1” in your email address because the ‘Godfather of Soul’ also works @ Raytheon? Or is it because the host of NFL Today on CBS works for them? ($50 Follow-Up: Did you know that the 2nd guy used to play for the Atlanta Hawks???)

James - its pretty much the dumbest thing ever, every other James Brown got to have a middle initial (theres like 70k employees, so a significant number of James Browns- IT picks our email addresses, not me). There is no James E Brown, but for some reason I get to be the only one with a number. It makes it look fake, on my business cards and stuff. Some guy doesnt even have to have a middle initial. Also, theres a james L Brown at my same site, so i get his email all the time because everyone thinks its an L instead of a 1. The james brown name endears me to Texans because of the Big XII championship game in 96. which also was a good game for Gator fans because it helped us make the Sugar Bowl for a rematch with FSU and an eventual NC.

Steve - Gotta love the Einsteins in IT

10:39am - trying to find a decent radio station. It a good thing I love country music, on wait...

Jesse - Canyada, please don’t kill everyone on the road for the sake of your blog…

James - you should stop in Shreveport for an unhealthy amount of morning gambling, and blog about that.

10:51am - My abnormally small bladder + 15 glasses of water last night = my first pit stop. In the memory of my buddy Gabe "I'm such a god damn rookie!"

Steve - Make sure to stock up on fake sunglasses from the kiosk as well as some dip n dots. If you have time, get a Sbarro slice.

Jesse - Is it your small bladder or your weak kegel muscles?

James - i think its his large uterus

11:01am - a gift from god, just finished listening to the tereis theme song on the radio (nutcracker). In other news, dip n dots have been the ice cream of the future for 15 years now

Steve - Ryan, any conflict of interest? Working @ Raytheon, while being the heir to the Crutchfield fortune…

11:12am - How many songs in a row categorized as "the worst song ever written" does Gwen Stefani have to release before it's considered a world record?

11:36am - This just in, Louisiana still sucks

11:40am - just rode on the Terry Bradshaw Highway, I have no words

Steve - Cmon boys…let’s here ‘em. There’s gotta be a bunch of easy-as-a-layup jokes here

James - Im pretty sure he meant to say Terry Bradshaw probably rode the Chris Canada Hershey Highway all the way to ToonTow

Krutch - How was the Terry Bradshaw ride? Did you feel a pinch? No Crutchfield fortune. Bill Crutchfield disowned me in '02 when I bought a radio at Wal-mart. Canada, be prepared for the most boring stretch of highway right after Shreveport. Stock up on gas/caffeine.

Jesse - Do you blame him?

11:54am - Notchitoches, LA 58 miles

12:07pm - pit stop #2, I have issues... And I have to pee. Here's a picture from my stall



Jesse - I can hear you knocking all the way in St Augustine

James - you should have included your hand knocking on the wall

Jesse - or is this where terry bradshaw comes i

12:24pm - Tigers Bleaux



James - i think you can see les miles' hat on the horizon

12:27pm - I'm thinking about calling in to the local hip hop station to try to win tickets to "Crunk Christmas". I really want to win...

James - with 'crunk christmas'... everyone wins!

Steve - Christmas?? Please elaborate.

12:39pm - Gettin' Jiggy Wit It!!!!!!

Steve - Now we’re talking. The best part of that song is, of course, the pig-latin: “Illway the an-may on the ance-day oor-flay”

12:50pm - We made it!



James - ive never seen it in the light!

12:54pm - Louisiana smells like Satan's ***

1:13pm - Why are there only country channels??? This sucks. And to make matters worse, the only rock station is playing Nickelback and I'd rather shove icepicks in my ears

James - they have these things called 'cds' and 'ipods' now.... i figure your car doesnt have a 'casette deck' which also is an option. theres got to be an espn radio affiliate, how close are you to lafayette?

1:28pm - Timbaland sure can mix some beats "It's too laaaaaaaaaate!!!"

1:33pm - Ahhh, beautiful downtown Alexandria, LA. Drink it up

James - lafayette espn radio affiliate is 1420 AM. lafayette is like 90 miles away though, kind of far for an AM station i think. youre not going to get any closer to lake charles, so i wont bother giving you that one.

1:52pm - I could really to for a BS Report right now

James - i went to a chilis in like opelousas before, you could pull over and do some shots to make it interesting

1:56pm - Blue Oyster Cult, MORE COWBELL!!!

James - http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=gallo/071211 canada, dont read while driving

2:35pm - Time for some gas which also means time for some food. Fast food roulette ended up on McDonalds. I have $4, but luckily I'm a dollar menunaire. I'm going to be very full.

James - ill send more links for about 430 when youre ready to give that mickey d's a way out

2:40pm - A gross miscalculation on my part shows that I only have $3, which forces me to use my debit card. I feel so deliciously white trash!

2:50pm - A gross miscalculation on THEIR part gives me an extra double cheeseburger! McDonalds has perfected this btw

James - that would make today what jesse colston calls 'christmas

4:01pm - I just took a poop on Baton Rouge. I did not flush.

4:51pm - Even MORE cowbell!!!

7:35pm - Made it to Pensacola. Paco's bathroom is in trouble...
